Lou Reed's Philly Show aka No More Heroes Anymore
Thank God Lester Bangs is dead already because he definitely would have killed himself had he lived to see Lou Reed's current tour. Let no one fool you, Reed's show Saturday night was a buzzkill. Like an old man in a wheelchair trying to desce ...

It's Fun To Stay at The N-M-K-Y
I love when something I discover online makes me laugh out loud. Check out Gregorius and his Finnish version of the Village People's "Y.M.C.A." I no longer wonder what inspired Mike Myers to create his Goldmember character. [yt]http://www.yo ...

Paris 1919, 1973, and 2007
It's no surprise that I don't like much new music. I listen to a lot of it, but only find a teeny bit actually interesting. That being said, I understand the importance of historically contextualizing things for the kids of today. Enter Owen P ...

Madonna is Colder Than An Ice Cream Cone
In a moment of weakness, I just watched Madonna's new video for "4 Minutes." The world's best one-trick producer Timbaland has his obligatory introductory cameo, Justin Timberlake does his best Michael Jackson impression, and 49-year-old Madonna ...

A Glad and Sorry Emotional Balancing Act by The Faces
Ooh La La, the last album from British rockers The Faces, has one of the most perfectly balanced songs of all time on it. Ronnie Lane's "Glad and Sorry" is equal parts regret and confidence juxtaposed in flawless harmony. I can listen to this ...

Let's Have a Roxy Music Pyjama Party!
Roxy Music's 1973 single "Pyjamarama" is amazing, full stop. It is two minutes and fifty-two seconds of absolute musical brilliance that leaves one frustrated and craving more as the song fades into its ending. Originally released as a b-side ...

Hawkwind and The Master of the Universe
When you hear the phrase "Master of the Universe" what comes to mind? He Man, right? Well that is what I thought, but apparently I'm not enough of a psychedelic space rocker to know that is also a Hawkwind song. From their live 1974 album ...

How Does Your Meat Loaf?
The man-titted Meat Loaf and middle aged mall-rat Tiffany have joined forces to hawk AT&T's new GoPhone Light. Sinking to new lows, they commercially bastardize "Paradise By The Dashboard Light" in a way in would even embarrass suburbanite ...

If N.O.I.A. Asks If You Wanna Dance, Say Hell No and Run Away
Italian electro group N.O.I.A. sure ain't no Moroder. In fact, I find their 1984 S & M, New-Wave, erotic torture, fantasy video for "Do You Wanna Dance" so terribly awful that I have to post it. This is what happened in the early 80s when Ital ...
